Bottle courtesy of Steve (hopdog). Thanks! Pours muddy orangish-brown with just a slight hint of head. Very sweet aroma of brown sugar and rum. Thin mouthfeel. Taste of raisin and brown sugar. No bitterness.

Bottle courtesy of jjpm74: Poured a deep dirty brown color ale with a tiny head with minimal retention and no lacing. Aroma of deep caramel and toffee malt with some raspberry notes also noticeable. Taste is dominated by some sweet malt with some hint of raspberry and blackberry. Body is full and carbonation is very low but no alcohol was noticeable. Very well done and I observe some resemblance with Kuhnhenn Raspberry eisbock even though they are two very different beers.

I don’t remember liking this as much as my numbers show, at least not as much as the 04. Aroma has sweet fruit, some apple, peach, and raisin. The alcohol is much cooler, it doesn’t have the burn. Flavor is sugar and malt. Scarcely any hops, which I expect from an American Strong Ale.

RBSG07. From 75 cL blue bottle. Pours dark brown with a light brown head. Aroma is slight citric. Flavour is raisin and mild citric at once. Very nice flavour, enjoyable. Raisin sweet to dry finish.

Bottled, thanks jjpm74! Cloudy mahogany colour, no head. Fruity red currant aroma. Sweet and densely malty with cocoa and plum brandy. Full bodied with sensational tang of chipotles and raspberries. Complicated, warming and unusual.

Sampled at the O-Town throwdown. Poured amber with almost no head. It has a fairly standard barleywine aroma with date, fig and plum like dark fruitiness. The flavor is really smooth with notes of plums, dates, cherries and hints of sweet malts. The taste ends almost velvety smooth. This beer is dangerously easy drinking.

Sampled at the Richmond Beer Industry Gathering 2006. Clear dark amber body with a small white head. Sweet dark caramel aroma with some alcohol burn. Sweet caramel flavor with a very gentle ending.

Great packaging - I probably would have bought this even if I didn’t know what it was - clear dark amber pour with clingy, bubbly lace - semi-tart, nearly tannic aroma, with with background sweet notes of caramel and vanilla, rounded out by oak and cherries - initially sweet, but a bitter/tart, wine-like character balances it out rather quickly - chocolate, caramel, raspberry and toffee are the most prominent flavors, reminding me a little of Kuhnhenn Raspberry Eisbock - light vanilla, pastry/dough, a touch of wood, and light cinnamon add to the complex flavor of this brew - finishes with some bourbon and mild alcohol warmth - quick distinctive and tasty - I’d like to try this with some age on it.
